My results are crap but I still had a tops time!! Next time I may give it a real go at placing rather than just hammering around...

The runs I saw you do looked pretty good. I thought your car would have handled worse and had more lag than it did.

Yeah what was the verdict with the full slicks? Help or hinderence? Did they get warm enough to grip?

On the backtrack they were ok, a bit better than streets, just couldnt get temp into them. on the skid pad they stuck to the shinny surface so much i couldnt use my handbrake, hence i took the rears off... Verdict: never again! its also a pain in the ass changing tyres in the morning and after!.

I'm happy with my results 13th and in the top 5 rwds again, but what happened to Ryan he's normally waving the flag at the top. Did you have car troubles mate?

i had an average day, rushed to get all my skid pan runs in after we fixed the pedal and stuffed some of them up. i was stoked to get back out there, thought id be organising a trailer home.. but well done to all the rwd guys, right up there amoungst all the cheater cars and GTR's!

Bring on the next DECA!!

For what it is worth the federals on James EVO were great. I think for people wanting a good tyre without getting full semi-comp either those Federal 595RS or the Azien RT615's are perfect as at DECA I don't think there is any real advantage of a full semi over them (except maybe 1s on the back track) and they will last a lot longer.

well i headed to shep at midnite on sat nite.. got there n brisby had spent $400 on strippers... chris left rawhide n we stumbled upon him waiting in the kfc drivethrough where we had a lil tool wanting to take everyone on.

i left shep at 4.30 n i think bris was still at the strippers (would have stopped but cbf paying another $12 just to c him sitting there)

n i hear shan had an accident with a gate. as paul would say "got gate?"

lol, those lil fags were good value but. "we'll fight anyone we see ay bro" .... dezz gets out... yip. that sure changed. lol....

Was one of the best ones I've competed in yet...I missed out last feb, so was my first time doing those particular events, and they were a lot of fun :)

hehe, a few runs in particular were pretty good fun lol

lol u looked maggoted chris

possibly coz he was... lol

Pretty happy with my effort...only 2 penalties all day and they were both on the battle course that I got completely wrong :O

the burnouts at the top of the course made up for my complete lack of navigation though. haha.

lol..I sucked as always :laugh:

I give up on these weekends, they just leave me broke with a car with no tyres :laugh:

If anyone is interested in getting some very cheap second hand street tyres (235/45/17) after ripping theirs up on the weekend let me know via PM, not here. I can get get some very good (80-90%) dunlop SP3000's for $60 each for SAU Vic people.

LOL my crapbox was using nearly 2yo SP3000's, hate them even more than the SP9000's I had on the other taxi. I reckon the worst semi-comps would be quieter than these things dunlop calls tyres!

Got not issues with tearing them up tho :laugh:

So they're noisy, but do they grip? I thought they must be ok if ford is putting them on new cars.

Im sure you can do better, on the other car it was cheaper for the dealer to replace the 9000's with bridgestone S03's which were 10x better. Then again, Ford does try to pass of the cars it fits them to as "sporty" hehe

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
